The health check uses bespoke techniques and provides the following:

• Spend Profiling: an assessment of the expenditure of each business
• Category Positioning: to identify the correct strategy for each spend category.
• Vulnerability Analysis: to identify potential areas of risk in current practice.

A selection of Strategy Development Tools are then used to identify, quantify and prioritise
available cost reduction opportunities
